Why are people so upset about this?

Because the actual finale that we got already looked spectacular, so them rehashing the same content and adding only minor tweaks or "polish" to milk the franchise even more sounds pathetic. It's a desperate cash grab like those Demon Slayer movies.

sTaNdArD pROcEdUrE, it's shameless and pathetic milking of a series that failed it's fans at the end, of course people are annoyed at more of the same crap.

Anyone with a brain will call out this blatant milking of a shit series.
"why do you care so much that it's a cash grab??"
literal braindead CONSOOMER behaviour.

Cause it's just a compilation, no new content

why can't mappa start adapting some good stuff like vinland saga S3 for example instead of just making a recap movie for AOT, they're milking it so hard, it's already a finished series, what's the need for "Attack on titan- The Final Season- The Final Chapters- The Very Final ( Compilation movie )"

I'm not a fan of csm but couldn't they just release the reze movie instead? at least it's new content

oh, kinda makes sense, but that makes me hate mappa more tbh, what a shameful cash grab

Your entire argument lives or dies about me and others being "upset" about it, here's the thing:
I'm not upset.

The thing that I care about is that people can't tell when they're being milked for cash, or for a better term, being scammed. I talk about this stuff because I want people to think more critically about stuff, I mean what was the point of releasing the thing as two episodes with a long dead time between them when they were gonna do this anyways? Why wasn't it just one movie in the first place instead of making people buy it twice, or possibly three times if they're doing a BluRay release?
That's where the "braindead" part comes from, you think nobody should question the existence of a blatant cash grab simply because they can just "not watch it".
If you keep up that mentality, companies will keep on releasing lazy cash grabs to milk their audience, instead of putting that effort into making actual quality stuff that'll make people genuinely happy.

They said that they will improve the visuals

It is not like they are forcing people to watch it.Tf are you pressed about?

@Neawn8 First of all it's not being scammed if I'm getting exactly what I want out of it, I think it will be fun to see in theaters and so I will pay 12 or 13 bucks or whatever to do so if it's playing near me. And I can tell full well I'm being milked for cash but I'm getting something I enjoy out of it so I simply don't care. As for why it was released as 2 episodes instead of just doing a movie, there's no way to know for sure without having been present behind the scenes.
We do know that not only was production absolute hell, they also were locked into several things that were set in stone by WIT before they handed over production. And from what I understand one of those things was the title, WIT had intended to adapt it all as one season and so when they started early production they trademarked the name "Attack on Titan: The Final Season". However after they decided to hand over the series, MAPPA under an extremely strict schedule had to adapt the show as several season but were stuck with the already trademarked title.

Now this is just my own conjecture and is by no means the actual story but I feel like it's not insane to assume the same thing or something similar could've been the reason they didn't do a movie. Perhaps they were under some sort of legal restriction where the IP had already been contracted as a TV anime production and they weren't allowed to just switch to a theatrical production instead. There's just no way to really know why they did it the way they did so to say they only did it to milk the series I don't think is really fair.
Ultimately we don't know the real reason and we most likely never will, and truthfully it doesn't really matter since what's done is done. I do think you're partially right about companies putting out lazy cash grab slop rather then putting actual effort into things, you see that especially in the gaming industry nowadays. However, to insinuate this not only isn't going to be of actual quality but also isn't going to make people genuinely happy is ridiculous.

And I do stand by what I said about not watching it and I really don't think it's any deeper then just that. People are going to pay to go see this and it's not about whether they're thinking critically about it or not, they simply enjoy Attack on Titan and will receive enjoyment from experiencing it in theaters. If you don't enjoy Attack on Titan then don't go see it and life will go on all the same.

A lot of it seems to be a combination of people who don’t know that Compilation Films are standard procedure for popular shows, people without reading comprehension thinking this is a sequel rather than a compilation, and people who react negatively to the slightest whiff of “milking” AOT due to PTSD from the Final Season’s release schedule

Because the actual finale that we got already looked spectacular, so them rehashing the same content and adding only minor tweaks or "polish" to milk the franchise even more sounds pathetic. It's a desperate cash grab like those Demon Slayer movies.

idk why they didnt handle the final chapters this way to begin with, the hype would have been unmatched if they went this route orignally instead of the stupid tv special shit

@JoshyKage Like I said to the other guy, we most likely will never know for sure but my best guess is MAPPA got locked into some sort of TV anime production contract that was previously signed by the production company when WIT was still attached to the series and legally wasn't allowed by broadcasters to just switch to a theatrical production. I agree it would've been so much better for it to have been a movie upon it's original release but the TV specials were still phenomenal and get far too much hate in my opinion.

@Early_Morning bro then just dont watch it, let the die hard aot fans watch it, you dont have to
